Another news for those who like JSON format, there's JSON1 extension for SQLite, this is a great news for those who only need embedded database for their app. Their functions are similar to PostgreSQL's JSON/JSONBfunctions. On other hand, there's already a lot of BSON solution in NoSQL world, such as the infamous MongoDB (and TokuMX) RethinkDB, ArangoDB (SQL-like syntax), PouchDB (Javascript version of CouchDB), SequoiaDB, DjonDB, etc. For more information about those databases, see the video below.
